“Tom Jones” is a world premiere play written by Mark Brown, who also wrote the FST audience favorite, “Around the World in 80 Days.” The play is an adaptation of the ground-breaking novel, “The History of Tom Jones,” a Foundling, by Henry Fielding. In this thrilling adventure of the heart, Tom Jones, a charming young man of questionable birth, is madly in love with Sophia Western. But when Sophia’s father arranges for her to marry a loathsome man, she flees for her life. Aristocrats, wenches and scalawags abound in this bawdy and rollicking romp through the back roads and bedchambers of England.
